I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was
Shot by the Taliban
by Malala Yousafzai, Christina Lamb
I come from a country that was created at midnight. When I
almost died it was just after midday.
When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in
Pakistan, one girl spoke out. Malala
Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education.
On Tuesday,
October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she almost paid the ultimate price. She
was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from
school, and few expected her to survive.
Instead,
Malala's miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a
remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New
York. At sixteen, she has become a global symbol of peaceful protest and the
youngest nominee ever for the Nobel Peace Prize.
I Am Malala
is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism, of the fight
for girls' education, of a father who, himself a school owner, championed and
encouraged his daughter to write and attend school, and of brave parents who
have a fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons.
I Am Malala will make you believe in the power of one
person's voice to inspire change in the world.(less)Goodreads Choice Winner for
